At times , the PI is not recognized , or unable to contact over SSH in this method.

Let us see the DIRECT NETWORK LINK method In this post which is 100% reliable.Cons is that network internet is not shared.But this is not an issue , as PI3 is WIFI capable through which you can connect to internet.

To start with , place the SD card ( class 10 type recommended ) with Raspbian OS on to a Card Reader

The card will be shown as boot drive.Open it.

Under View , un tick the option “ File Name Extension”

Now Right click on empty space & create a new text document.

Rename it to ssh & save it.

Now a file named ssh is created without any file extension

When the card is now used on RPI, on first boot the OS will look out for the ssh file name.If it finds one , it enables secure shell & then delete the file named ssh.

This is how SSH is enabled in a Headless mode operation of RPI.

Place the SD card on to PI & power it up.

Now Open Network& Sharing center on your Windows PC.

Connect the Ethernet port of RPI to the Ethernet port of your PC using a STRAIGHT RJ45 Cable.

An Unidentified Network is created for the Ethernet adapter where PI is connected .

Click on the Network connection type ,( here mine is WIFI.)

Click properties

Under SHARING Tab un tick the options so that Network sharing is DISABLED.
